 Hey Marc;
 
 it works now, you were right.  It only works for straight directory, not
 files though.  interesting !!!.
 
 Anyway, I am building my own RSSI  HAHAHHAHA
 
 if you want me to keep you posted, just tell me.
 
 I am the WSF guy, and I have the "multi-IP   single-username"  module
 (which protects clubs from people sharing passwords)  and if you are
 interested, I could make this module available  (it involves one little
 function call being added in the "auth" modules)
 
 thanx for everything man
